Imagine how bonkers this is if you consider that an app store is essentially a discovery mechanism much like a search engine is for the web. Google could say: 'If you want your website to be listed on our search engine you need to let us handle your payments', and it wouldn't be fundamentally different. The whole Apple v Epic and Google v Epic lawsuits are interesting to view with that in mind.
